In a major advancement in the emerging technologies, ADC has announced that it supports the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3ba standard. This standard is claimed to be the first specification that supports both 100 GbE and 40 GbE throughput speeds over fiber-optic cables for telecom carriers and enterprise data centers.
To support the surging demand for broadband applications and content, carriers and data centers are already preparing for next-generation 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet technologies. In anticipation of the new standard, ADC has prepared its fiber-optic portfolio to handle the new speeds so that customers can take advantage of fiber cabling solutions that are fully compatible with the new standard.
Jaxon Lang, Vice-President, Global Connectivity Solutions, ADC, said, "With 100 GbE technology, providers will be able to move the equivalent of a full-length DVD movie in less than a second over a single channel of a single fiber-optic connection. ADC is ready today to provide fiber-optic cabling and interface solutions that are fully compatible with 802.3ba, as well as existing 10 Gbps technology."
The new technologies, as a result of the standard, are expected to lead to the development of new data center ecosystems, including a common network interface, servers and other gear, to help providers more effectively and efficiently meet the demands.
